accessing form controls in another form

andy

I have a outer skin page ( say mainpage.aspx) which contains controls like label and textbox.
I am useing another page (say content.aspx) to display actual content of the page.
How do i access the outer skin page controls (example mainpage.aspx label control) in content.aspx ?
doing something like this but throwing error
mainpage obj= new mainpager()
Label mainlbl = (Label)obj.Form.FindControl("prodlbl");

Hi Andy,

First you write a constructor and public properties to access each control in main page like below.

    public Label mainlbl;
    public Button mainbutton;
    public mainpage()
    {
        mainlbl = (Label)this.FindControl("prodlbl");
        mainbutton = (Button)this.FindControl("Button1");
    }

Then you can access them in other pages like this.

mainpage obj= new mainpager()
Label mainlbl = obj.mainlbl;
Button mainb = obj.mainbutton;
